Parsing html file to a text file

[avataralien]

I got a HTML file. I wish to parse the content I need to a text file. How can I make use of The unix utility application that strips the HTML markup tags from the file’s content leaving just content text? Thanks for the advise!

Partial HTML file code

<thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th class="ticker_name">Currency Pair</th>
                        <th>Price</th>                       <th>Change</th>            </tr>
